Crows Toes 9 Realms Collection

Good morning! I have a major post for you guys today. MAJOR. This post of 32, yes, 32! photos is an introduction of Crows Toes 9 Realms Collection. I thought about breaking it up but I wanted you to get the full impact of seeing this cohesive and gorgeous collection all at once. The 9 Realms collection was inspired by Norse Mythology and you can really see the thought and creativeness that went into the colors and inspiration. These polishes will also be released with a wider style brush, which I loved. It's just wide enough to get more coverage without being too wide. Application wise, these are pretty darn perfect. I had absolutely no issues with polish formula, most of them are worn without layering just with multiple coats to achieve opacity. Okay enough talking, on to the photos....

Crows Toes Alfheim

Three coats

Pale green holo with slight blue shimmer.

Mmmm holo, love that holo flame.

Crows Toes Asgard

Three coats

Light blue holo with gold micro-shimmer.

This blue is light but bright and the gold is a nice touch.

Crows Toes Midgard

Three coats

Pale taupe holo with slight green flash shimmer.

The concept of a taupe holo at first comes across as ho hum but this is definitely not ho hum.

It's got this flash of green that is so stunning in real life.

Crows Toes Svartalfheim

Three coats

Navy jelly base with various gunmetal, silver, and cobalt glitter.

Oooooh dark but also striking. Lots of depth with the different sizes of glitter in the blue jelly base.

Crows Toes Niflheim

Three coats

Black jelly base with deep purple and gunmetal micro-shimmer.

Another dark and lovely polish this one with sparks of purple.

Crows Toes Bifrost

Three coats

Rainbow of micro-glitter in a clear base.

YES, this is a must have. It's absolutely packed with glitter and could be layered but the is better worn by itself. This is similar to OPI Mad as a Hatter but more warm and a whole lot better!

Crows Toes Helheim

Three coats

Black jelly base with warm copper and violet flakes.

So effing pretty. I love that with such a dark base, you don't lose the flakes at all.
